Obama Copenhagen Speech Video, Barack Obama Joins Last Push for Climate Deal

Obama Copenhagen speech live video is here. U.S. President Barack Obama lands in Copenhagen for the final day of UN climate change conference. The deadline for an agreement is less than 12 hours away.

Negotiators from 193 countries worked through the night and did reach consensus on financing and temperature. A draft text called for $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poor nations cope with climate change and sought to limit warming to two degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial levels.

But large gaps remained.

Andreas Carlgren, the environment minister of EU president Sweden, said only the world’s two biggest greenhouse gas emitters China and the United States could unlock a deal.

“There are deep differences in opinion and views on how we should solve this. We’ll try our best, until the last minutes of this conference,” said Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt.

U.S. President Barack Obama arrived on Friday morning, and would meet Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on the sidelines.

“Through the whole process the real problem has been on the one hand the United States, who are not able to deliver sufficiently (and) on the other hand China, and they delivered less. And they have been really blocking again and again in this process, followed by a group of oil states. That’s the real difference, the real confrontation behind this,” said Carlgren.
